Bud the Baker Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Cycling's Big Four (Contador, Froome, Nibali & Quintana) have been challenged to compete in all three Grand Tours next year. Nobody has won all three in the same year and nowadays contenders (sic) going for the double tend to focus on the Giro & Vuelta the first & last of the races. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/29543397 Watch this space.......................

It is pretty much assumed that to complete all three now , in one year and contend in all three , is not recommended. In recent years some cyclist have purely focused the entire season on winning the Tour de France. . I honestly don't know if the money offered will be enough to entice one of the top pro's to actually do it. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had an engine issue whilst out driving the other day, feckin rattling like a giant pill bottle on and off... funny thing was I only noticed it when I passed a group of 'MAMILS' (Middle Aged Men In Lycra) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintnextlifetime Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I'm a bit naughty, always put the washer screen on full and pass slowly The "four abreast" story is an urban myth. Cyclist have a higher sense of survival than the average person and would never carry out such a manoeuver , on an open road . Remember Ian , THOSE WHO WILL NOT REASON , ARE BIGOTS. .

Yeah I can't see anyone being competitive in all three and a million Euros is not gonna tempt a genuine contender to compromise his chances of winning one of the Grand Tours.
